why boober

Boober matches birth doulas to all types of families, from first-time moms to parents welcoming their second or third child to A-list celebrities requiring the utmost discretion.  We began matching doulas at our sister company Birth Day Presence--the premier provider of smart, non-judgmental childbirth education, doula and lactation trainings.  The doulas on the boober platform are often trained in the doula training workshop taught by world-renowned doula trainer, Debra Pascali-Bonaro and hosted at our Park Slope Studio; many of the experienced doulas are certified through DONA International or Doula Trainings International.  The doulas who list themselves on the boober platform often have advanced training/licensure in complementary fields such as lactation, childbirth education, prenatal yoga, massage therapy, reiki, nutrition, and counseling.

I was lucky to have been connected with Didi through Birth Day Presence. My husband and I took the weekend intensive class on childbirth education there, as well as the breastfeeding/newborn class. So the classes really helped us have a better understanding of what to expect. However, after the classes and speaking with several friends, they all highly recommended having a doula present during labor. I wanted someone who was experienced in childbirth, nurturing, and in-line with my requests. And Didi was exactly the right person for the job. I interviewed several other doula’s but after meeting Didi, both my husband and I felt immediately comfortable with her. She was absolutely wonderful and sweet, and I know that she was a huge reason why my birthing experience was so unbelievable. I couldn’t have asked for a better birth.

Thank you to Jada, my Kangaroula, who supported me not only through a very long labor, but helped us and my son tremendously in the Nicu. She was there for early breastfeeding sessions and helped me advocate for more skin-to-skin time, even though my baby was connected by tubes and monitors.
